The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a brilliant stage for giving opportunities to young and talented players who are yet to showcase their skills to larger part of the world. The IPL committee has been giving out awards for the ‘Best Emerging Player’ in the tournament by a voting system. The cricket-crazy audience also plays a part in picking the youngsters for the award.
There are certain criteria for which the award is given to a player. A player must have played fewer than five Tests, 20 ODIs, and 25 IPL matches at the start of the season and must not have previously won the award. Like always, this year, too, many amateurs have announced their arrival on the larger platform with outstanding performances. In this article, we will talk about the players who have a good chance of winning the award in the 2025 edition.
5 contenders for Emerging Player of the Season award in IPL 2025
5. Digvesh Rathi
Digvesh Rathi, a young player from Delhi, made his IPL debut for LSG this season. He came into the limelight from the first game itself as he took two wickets against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Despite going for three boundaries in the previous overs, Rathi dismissed captain Axar Patel, followed by Vipraj Nigam.
The second game wasn’t as impressive since he got a single wicket against SRH. However, in the last game against PBKS, he was the only bowler who got the breakthrough for the team. He dismissed the most dangerous batter, Prabhsimran Singh, who was playing on 69 runs. Apart from him, he also sent home Priyansh Rana earlier in the game. He has a high chance of winning the award as he has the potential to play well in the future.
